Lin, your haiku with "woven nets" and "strings of silk threads" cast a sense of enchantment and wonder with imagery of diamonds, sunlight, dew, and spider webs. Congratulations on your top win in Dilly Dally's brilliant contest.

Your "diamonds strung on shrubs" is a beautiful write/picture. Good Luck.... I have been off Soup for a few weeks. I could not do it with my health problems. I am much better. Thank God. Have a very blessed day writing away................

We'll see if my Haiku are what Dilly is expecting, but if not they were fun to write. Thanks so much, Jan. I'll have to read your spider poem.
